Asked By:matifiora in Italy, IT

Hi, I'm Matilde, I'm 20 and I'm from Italy. I used to have very oily skin and my acne has worsened in the last couple of years, with cysts mainly on my chin. On 09/18/2016 my doctor put me on 10g of Accutane. My skin stopped being oily. I had two cysts on my chin, that are still there now, smaller. As I was about to finish my first cycle of Accutane, a huge cyst surfaced on my chin. My doctor upped my dosage to 20g. Yesterday, (10/27/2016) I got an enormous one on my chin, it's inflamed and it hurts. Is it normal to still get cysts after a month and a dosage augmentation?
